Jonah Hill is Cool and Channing Tatum is a Loser in "21 Jump Street" Movie

LA Times caught up with Channing Tatum to talk about the upcoming "21 Jump Street" film, which the actor will star in alongside Jonah Hill. Tatum confirmed that the movie will place the character into high school, despite that some TV show episodes took place in college.

The plot concerns a new drug that has run rampant at a high school, and Tatum and Hill are tasked with cutting it off at the source. The film contains a dose of what Tatum called "fantasy" moments, as well as outrageous comedy.

Regarding the characters, Tatum said that "it's a total reversal. Jonah is the cool one and I'm the loser." He added the script contains scenes unlike anything he's ever seen before. "I've never read a script that I'm like, 'How are they letting us do this?'" he said. "I'm like, 'No, I can't believe they're going to put this in a movie.' It's freaking ridiculous."
